My Louis was born in France at Bouen on the Alps in the South of France on 14/2/1814 according to the family Bible but is a British Subject according to his marraige cert, his childrens birth certs and some census. The GRO in England says there is no certificate for him there to try France. We have no idea why the family was in France at that time but just in case we have had a researcher try all the births of children born overseas while the father was in one of the forces but with no luck there either. We know his fathers name was John but do not know his mothers name or if there were any other children. The different UK census have him born both in the UK and in France and his death certificate has him born around 1823 but does not say where he was born. He married in London in 1844. We have not been able to find a town called Bouen.
Any suggestions would be greatly received. Sylvia in Australia.
